The Conservative Government is imposing cuts of 24.6% on Devon and Somerset's Fire and Rescue Service, this will have a massive impact on Taunton Deane. Taunton Fire Station is now losing its only rescue vehicle which will mean longer rescue vehicle response times to addresses in Taunton. Given the importance of our Fire service it's time to halt these cuts and keep the rescue vehicle at our Fire Station where it is regularly used in floods, fire and on the Taunton stretch of the M5.
